today
not a great weekend, overall. gundam and i broke up on saturday so i’ve been lying around in my bathrobe watching movies and feeling sorry for myself. as for tonight, i don’t know what i’m up to yet. new year’s has always been kind of depressing for me anyway; that whole start of year instinct has always been triggered much more by fall than by winter for me, for whatever...

well, i’m finally home. and while it’s nice to get back to my apartment and rescue my wilting plants and unpack my xmas goodies, i have to admit i had a really good time in massachusetts. as i mentioned, i was pretty sick for the first few days, but what better place to be sick than at my mom’s house? she poured gallons of tea down my throat and made me wrap up in blankets by the...

i realized after i got on the train saturday morning that i hadn’t updated before i left, and of course i haven’t had time until now. i’m in massachusetts spending the holiday at my parents’ house, and i’ll be here until friday. unfortunately whatever minor plague i had before i left has developed into something quite nasty so i haven’t been doing much other...

so tuesday night i went with gundam and mrtails to the first showing of lotr, at midnight at the lowes in times square. i’d been looking forward to it for so long that i was sort of dreading it would be only mediocre, or good but not great, but: it was incredible. the three hours flew by, and even though it finished after three am i felt like i wanted to sit back down and watch the entire...

i’m sitting in this crappyass netcafe in times square; gundam and i are going to see lord of the rings in a few hours and we’re mad early to meet mrtails to pick up our tickets, so we’re killing time here. worked on my dad’s site a bit today; i’m redesigning the whole thing in general but in the meantime i’m making a few changes based on some sales he made at a...

i finished the last page in my latest paper journal last night, which makes two hundred pages. it’s almost like i wrote a book, although handwriting takes up more space than type. a novella, maybe. this is the first one i’ve finished completely since i started keeping a physical journal again; i stopped after my senior year in high school when all my old journals, this big stack of cvs...

the upper camstill is mine, the lower colin’s; they both refer to super smash brothers melee. colin is still in denial about the fact that once i figured out how to stop falling off the edges of the level, pikachu was seriously kicking his ass, which was demonstrated again tonight. uNF. last night i was at gundams; we played a big online drinking game with monkey, tycho, and croo. the game...

i’m in a really good mood, it’s been a good couple of days. i met with my advisor at nyu and she cleared me for registration and everything, so i get to make my schedule tonight. but that isn’t the best part - it turns out that while i was gone, they changed around the morse academic plan, which is nyu’s core curriculum. the end result is that i’ve been exempted from...

so i got my letter from nyu today - i’m offically accepted for readmission starting january 22nd (two days after my birthday). they’d already pretty much told me it wasn’t going to be a problem and that the application process was just a formality, but it was still a relief. i’m meeting with an advisor on thursday to figure out what classes i’m going to take; probably...

saturday gundam and i headed over to colin’s house for gaming fun. we checked out some baldur’s gate: dark alliance, more metal gear solid 2 (of course), rogue leader, more super monkey ball, etc etc. also watched cats and dogs which i hadn’t seen before (and which was absolutely adorable) and the goonies (which i had, but not for years and years). eventually i headed home and...
today
so my parents and four of their friends are in town for the weekend; i had dinner with them tonight here. it’s a tiny little italian place, i really have no idea how they managed to squeeze a party of seven in as well as the other customers but they did. the food was fabulous - i had penne alla vodka and a slice of pear tart with hazelnut ice cream. yum. relatively cheap too, for its...
today
spent most of the morning on the phone with nyu trying to finalize everything for next semester; apparently i can’t really do anything until next week at the earliest. bleh. i’m almost done reading fellowship of the ring yet again; i had originally intended to just reread it and not the rest of the series before the movie comes out in a couple of weeks, but i ended up going through the...
today
i’ve had this low-grade headache for like the past three days that develops into an incredibly sharp pain once in a while. it’s really fun, you should try it. i think i have been too stressed and irritated, and as such am going to go take a really long bath and make tea. when i wasn’t popping excedrin today, i was playing some old infocom games - zork 1 and 2, hitchiker - just...
today
so it’s december now; i suppose fall is officially over. it’s weird though, with the exception of today the past week or two has been quite warm, and even today isn’t nearly as cold as i’d expect for december. thursday night there was this gorgeous fog everywhere - i was at colin’s for gaming fun and walking to the train on my way home was really eerily nice. fog...
